Eating behaviors questionnaire, research collecting data has a validity by index of item-objective congruence (IOC) was 0.87 and the reliability by Cronbach’s coefficient was 0.74. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired t-test, independent t-test and Chi-square test.
The results founded that the mean score of eating behaviors after received intervention of experimental group were significantly higher than the before received intervention and higher than the control group (p< .05). The mean score of nutritional status after received intervention of experimental group were significantly better than before received intervention and significantly better than the control group (p< .05).
The results that can be applied to groups of pre-school or school-age children who have overnutrition. Because of each person's eating habits and nutritional status are different.
